How do I Service XT PD M730 and M732 Hubs???

[Roger_P]

Thanks a lot for your replies and advice.
Looks like my Saturday morning is now taken up!
If I chose just to regrease my hubs, I can see that there is a cover on them which can slide anti-clockwise and LGF says that there is a grease port underneath, what would I use to insert the grease?
Probably a daft question - but all I have experience of greasing is Landrovers and FV432 tracked vehicles, neither of which are similar to a mountain bike!

If you can get your hands on a grease gun it's really easy to just open the grease port on XT M730 hubs and pump a load of fresh grease through. You'll know when to stop when all the old dirty grease has been pushed out by the nice clean fresh stuff.
Wipe up all the excess and take a rag with you on your first ride out as you're sure to get a load more grease oozing out at first.
Oh and remember to close the grease ports up again so your new grease can't escape. (When you can see the red bit in the hole you know it's closed)
XT M730 hubs are great. They don't make 'em like they used to.
Suitably enthused; I'm off to fettle mine now...
